[QUOTE="Famiking"][QUOTE="LaMont4553"] 6'3" 220 is hardly a skinny tree.mrbojangles25
I was reffering to people who are skinny and tall, not any weight in particular. Tall people tend to have big body stature - big ribs, big hands, big feet etc.. so being skinny looks out of place. Small people tend to have small stature - small ribs, small heads, small feet etc. - so being skinny looks proportional. I think 110-120 pounds is about ideal for 5" 6 person. yea I am in that category.
"big boned" is often an excuse, but back when I weighed 280 pounds (that was healthy for me, believe it or not) my body fat percentage was 18%. That is, admittedly, a bit high but the doctor said even if I got to like 10% body fat, I would still weigh over 250 pounds. I am 6'3'' by the way.
Some people are, for lack of a better word, just large. My wrists are as wide as most people's knees, I can hide a 12 ounce can in my grip. I wear a size 14, 4E width, shoe. Ive never broken a bone before, leading me to believe my bones might be denser than most.
I really wish people would get over their classic, outdated notions of what is an appropriate size/weight ratio and such. I cant get insurance until I get down to 280, and if that is what I weighed when I was playing football and eating right, its going to be insanely difficult for me to get that weight now.
Yeah, I play football, and tbh, you guys are blessed. I mean, to be that big, and not even fat, is amazing. It's easier for you guys to be huge, like 280 pounds, and still run under 5 second 40 yard dashes. Those are the type of people in the NFL, just consider yourself lucky that you are naturally a beast of a human being.
